WIND MODES
Nature mode
Sleep mode
Nature mode provides an extra level of comfort
by simulating the natural rise and fall of the
wind over time. You can use this mode on any
fan speed setting.
To use Nature mode:
1. Choose a fan speed.
Sleep mode is identical to Nature mode with
the added advantage that the highest fan
speed gradually decreases over time. This
allows you to turn the fan on a high speed
setting last thing at night, knowing that by the
time you are asleep, the fan has switched itself
down to a slower speed.
2. Press the button on either the tower or the
remote until the light illuminates.
To use Sleep mode:
1. Choose a fan speed.
The fan will now vary its speed every few
seconds between the chosen fan speed, each
lower fan speed, and off. For example, if you
set the fan speed to 2 (medium), the actual
fan speed will alternate between 2, 1 and off.
To cancel Nature mode, press the Wind mode
button on either the tower or the remote until
the light is no longer illuminated.
2. Press the Wind mode button on either the
tower or the remote until Sleep mode is
illuminated.
The fan will now operate in the same manner
as with Nature mode, except that after 30
minutes, the maximum speed will decrease.
Eventually in this mode, the fan switches down
to 1 (low) speed, which alternates between 1
and off.
To cancel Sleep mode, Press the Wind mode
button on either the tower or the remote until
the light is no longer illuminated.
